Private rooms are also available, and our banquet staff is noted for making special events 'extra special.' After four decades, the entire Nero's family continues to take enormous pride in offering our guests, new and old, a gracious welcome, a terrific meal, and our sincere appreciation.

We are long time customers. The place can use some updating and a deep cleaning. No hot sake ? Def should make sure the machine works. The staff was very good from Louis the server, Hector the chef and Andy the manager. They all were very accommodating. Food is consistent and very good.

This was my first time dining here. I saw so many great things and reviews on Instagram that I decided to book a reservation and It was more than worth it. The staff were amazing, the ambiance was so comfortable. The food and portions were great and well with the money. I definitely will be going back! I highly recommend this establishment for a date night, family or group night.
